"The event marks a before and after in terms of smart mobility. Since Intertraffic kicked off in Mexico in 2016, we have put on the table the most important issues to drive more accessible, safe and sustainable mobility in Mexico and Latin America," commented Laura Barrera, Director of Intertraffic Mexico, Tarsus Mexico.
Cities must overcome challenges to create a livable and sustainable environment. Develop and define technology standards for new infrastructure, build and improve highways, freeways, bridges and road crossings.
